Beck Did It Better

254. Herbie Hancock: Head Hunters (1973)

Hey everybody, welcome to KJAZZ where we are talking one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time (until 1980.). We talk cooling mint, library stress, getting harassed by fans on the plane, and why you should go to that funeral. 

 

Then we become the best Herbie Hancock podcast of all time and talk the merging of Jazz and Funk to make one of the best vibe albums of all time. We also explore the world of Stars on 76 and the songs that lost the 1981 best R and B album. 

 

Next up, we are going to do a replay... but after that! We are doing the Freewheeling Bob Dylan. 

253. Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)

Hey... come on in, sit back, and take your socks off and enjoy the Pink Floyd album you have never heard nor heard a song off of. 

 

This is the episode where someone took 100 mg of the limitless drug and decided to host a podcast. We visit   iwaspoisoned.com.    and figure out the worst place to get tilapia before our flight to Chicago, find a new kind of Cheerios, and we are on a diet so we will just have the broccoli.  Aaron buys a fridge that has a message about Grannies in your Area (sorry Mother in Laws) and we read a literal message to a granny!

 

 

Then we listen to a psychedelic rock album that makes us think about Aereola 51 and we reach for the stars on a list about the greatest space rock. Then we listen to some weird british stuff that was recorded in the same place as Sgt. Pepper. 

 

Then there is nothing at the end so don't listen if you are related to me. 

Next week, we go bananas for Herbie Hancock Head Hunters. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

252. Devo: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978)

We know you like it extra SLOPPY. 

 

The first 25 min are the worst show we have ever done. Then Aaron saves the day. 

We mostly come up with things to tell Aaron later like Maxim magazine, our fantasy teams, and the Charlie Sheen documentary. Aaron talks carpooling, sloppy joes, and we find out how much beef jerky is in our houses... Rob talks about dispensing justice, the career of Mark Mothersbaugh, and how Devo combined punk and new wave. 

 

Matt highly recommends the Devo documentary and I recommend leaving a voicemail at 218 341 BECK. 

Next week. We talk Pink Floyd and Piper at the Gates of Dawn. 

251. Elton John: Honky Château (1972) with special guest Magic Mike!

Mittens! Mr. Whiskers!  No!

Superfan and smart music guy Magic Mike joins us to talk practicing piano, Elton John, and what exacty is going on with all that milk in Russell's fridge. 

We talk golden girl mythology and the Pearl Jam/ Magot Brain mashup we have been waiting for.  Russell is on fire at his conference and Aaron is back on his shit. 

Finally we talk about weekend at Bernie Taupin's and we talk about Bernie's non Elton songs. 

Call or text the beck line 218 341 5715 

 

Next week.... We are talking DEVO and Q: Are we not men? We are DEVO!

 

 

250. SECRET LIVE SHOW------ Buzzcocks: Singles Going Steady (1979)

Thanks to everyone who came out to talk about Russell getting spanked, the funniest raps, and how many people could we really marry? 

Raise a glass of squash juice, as we listen to the beginning of pop punk, and talk about the shortest songs ever. 

Next week, we'll talk Elton John and Honky Chateau.
